What this command does

  1. Scan — runs accessibility-wcag-scan on the target, producing a severity-ranked finding list mapped to WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria.

  2. Remediate — runs accessibility-remediation-plan on the scan output, producing a sprint-ready backlog in the requested format.

  3. Report (optional) — if --vpat is set, runs accessibility-vpat-acr to draft a VPAT 2.5 ACR in the selected edition.

Output files produced

File Description
a11y-scan-<date>.md Full audit report with finding table
a11y-remediation-<date>.md Sprint-ready backlog
acr-<product>-<date>.md VPAT/ACR (only if --vpat)

First-time use on a project

Run the audit once with --vpat to establish a baseline and formal ACR. Then set up the accessibility-compliance-monitor skill on a recurring schedule (monthly for EAA-affected properties, quarterly for ADA-only) to catch regressions.

Escalating findings

  • Critical findings — notify the project lead immediately. Do not ship.
  • EAA exposure — any critical finding on an EU-market property constitutes a compliance gap under enforcement-active EAA (since June 2025). Document remediation commitment with a timeline.
  • VPAT submission — after remediation, re-run the ACR with updated conformance ratings before submitting to a client or procurement body.
